Beautiful Mudejar church and curious sculptures. We have shops and a couple of fountains

We are in the beautiful mining town of Ariño located at the foot of the Sierra de Arcos and with many points of interest such as the Mining Museum, a spring, the parish church of San Salvador or the hermitage of Santa Bárbara among many others, so if we have time, it is definitely worth a visit.

Declared a Cataloged Asset of Aragonese Cultural Heritage, the Church of Santa María Magdalena rises above the town of Lécera with a clearly Mudejar style.

The Hermitage is located a few kilometers from the town of Ariño and since 1983 it has been a historical-artistic monument. Also popularly known as a monastery, the function in its beginnings was the exercise of political and religious power over the neighboring towns, sometimes even over an entire region. Today many are in ruins but can be visited to understand a little more how they functioned in a time very different from today.

Oliete is located above the riverbed of the Río Martín, where it is elevated from the rest of the land since the river has created a plain below the town, where there are currently agricultural fields.

Andorra is located between the valleys of the Martín and Guadalope rivers, next to the small Regallo river. It is located on the side of a hill 714 m above sea level, where it originated, although now it has been moving towards the plain. The population was known in the middle of the 20th century for the arrival of the railway that gave way to the mining activities of the population of Andorra.

One of the most important characteristics of this construction is the way it blends in with the landscape in which it is located, where there appears a church, an inn and all buildings on a stone.

The town of Ariño is divided into two parts. The first and referring to the original mining town, is located on the slope of the Sierra de los Arcos, where the town faces east and towards the Escuriza river. The other part of the population is in the flat area of the Escuriza river.
